Back from TX...

I told my friend that I must really love him to go and help him. We got there late Wednesday night, after a 10 hour trip, and we went straight to bed on our air matrices. The next morning we get up and start taking out all the stuff that was in the house. There were so many nick knacks in the house. The kids had already spent a week prior to the sale cleaning out all the junk. They filled up three 22ftX8ftx8ft dumpsters full of trash. I could not believe that a person could have this much stuff.

Even though the sale was advertised to start on Friday, people started coming on Thursday. It was our biggest sales day. That night we went to bed and we were all exhausted. My husband wakes me up about 12:30 saying that a scorpion had bitten him. He had it caught in the sheets and he made me go and get something to put it in. I guess moving all the stuff out must have steered them up. Needless to say, we got a bug bomb and set it up the next day.

I think some people "collect" some much stuff and don't even realize it!
